Stainless Brake Lines for My Sub Or Corvair?

[uglytruk]

A coupla' years ago, my '77 GMC Dump TEERUK needed a hydraulic brake hose. Of course it wasn't available, so I found a California speed shop that supplied me with a generic braided stainless hose for $10 and the correct end fittings for $3 each. Actually cost less than the specific rubber hose!
Now I forget where they came from, and my '84 Sub needs hoses....
I believe they were in a Russel or Earls bag...

Thoughts???

Yup, '64 Monza, just off the transport from Paso Robles Cal, drove it down the coast to Long Beach...
I also have a '62 Spyder 'vert, in Indiana getting a '64 Turbo and suspension upgrade. And a '63 Monza 'vert, all 4 speeds, and the '63 has 4 carbs, but not original. sorta' a rat rod... Ug

I am very anti-SS brake hoses. I have worked at a custom shop for years, and have seen too many fail (The always break near the fitting). I would rather have a softer pedel than another possible brake failure point. This of course is going to get argued, but I only go by what I see with my own eyes.

Really! Is it a case of "fake" Chinese? I wasn't too worried 'bout the "soft" pedal, just universality, by using one hose and a variety of fittings. Hmmmm, gotta' digest this... Ug
